It’s laughable how bad I am at this blogging thing, but here is my final mystery genre update for my Shameful Book Club! Before I get to the good stuff, I want to quickly mention that due to exciting life changes I’ll be switching up the format of this book club to one book a month. More on that at the bottom of the post, plus July’s read!

As I left it last time, I was already beginning the first of Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad novels, In The Woods. This book had my mouth open the entire time I was reading it. I was completely absorbed in its world and characters. While I and everyone I know who’s read it loved this book, I can see how some people would feel differently. I could see how some people would actually hate it. The characters are incredibly unlikable, most of all our hero, Detective Rob Ryan.

Rob was part of a notorious group of kids who wandered into the woods outside of their village one day and never came back. Rob, whose legal name is Adam, was finally found covered in blood and in severe shock. His two best friends were never recovered. He remembers nothing from the event and rarely thinks about it, until a child’s murder brings him and his partner, Cassie Maddox, back to his home town.
